Polar bears use Arctic sea ice to hunt seals, but a warming Arctic means the bears have to return to land earlier in the year. Their arrival coincides with droves of birds sitting on eggs. A single clutch of eggs isn’t enough to satisfy a bear, so they go from nest to nest, sometimes eating their way through a colony. Scientists designed a bear-proof nest case to protect Black Guillemot eggs. Learn more at BirdNote.org.
